ways.

05:34
For example, instead of saying this,

I can move ‘while’ to the middle of the sentence.

āϝāĻ–āύ āϏ⧇ āφāĻŽāĻžāϕ⧇ āĻĻ⧇āĻ–āĻ›āĻŋāϞāĨ¤'
05:48
I can put the ‘while’ between the two actions.

āφāĻŽāĻŋ āĻĻ⧁āϟāĻŋ āĻ•āĻ°ā§āĻŽā§‡āϰ āĻŽāĻ§ā§āϝ⧇ 'āϝāĻ–āύ' āϰāĻžāĻ–āϤ⧇ āĻĒāĻžāϰāĻŋāĨ¤

Or I can also change the sentence around and say,

351720
